bearshortyToday was a nice quiet day.
I make egg and English muffin and cheese sandwich for breakfast with cranberry orange tea – I do like weekend breakfasts. I have oatmeal on a regular day but weekends are either a bagel with cream cheese or I make an egg.
When I called Sveta yesterday to wish her a happy birthday we arranged a Skype date for today and it was great to talk to her. Next time she’ll hook up her camera too.
Then I was cross stitching for a long time – more than two hours, maybe even three. I just got into the cross stitching mood, put on Russian rock music and didn’t want to stop. I do tend to relax on weekends best when cross stitching and I won’t have time tomorrow since I’m going to the city for an exhibition and lunch with the girls. (when I say ‘city’ I mean Manhattan as everyone from New York City does)
In the afternoon I watched “Countrycide” the creepiest and more horror filled episode of “Torchwood” from Season 1. I don’t like horror in general and that episode was very disturbing but I really felt like rewatching it. This season is definitely much better on the rewatch, I think because I like the characters more now.
Then I braved the cold. The last Buffy: Season 8 comic came out on Wednesday and I’ve been meaning to go pick it up but with work and snow I didn’t have time until tonight. It was 24F outside and it was about an hour walk overall so I bundled up and just went for it. My nose got cold but it was ok walk otherwise.
Buffy: Season 8 #40 This was the Buffiest of all the issues so far. Obviously written by Joss and really big on character moments. It is deliberately pulling back from Season 8 and setting up Season 9 but it was great just to have conversations between Buffy and Dawn, Buffy and Willow, Buffy and Faith and Buffy and Spike. I really liked all the conversations. And the art too. Spike still is the only one who really believes in her and Buffy gets emotional over that. This comic book season was very uneven and sometimes just did not make sense. I think it might be read better all at once. I’m not going to buy individual issues of Season 9 but I might check it out it tradeback or read it at the store or something.
This evening I was putting up more sources and articles on the website for my Global history class. This was a fun site I found for Ancient India, with lots of slides.
Exercise: one hour walk
Cross stitch: light green and green, light yellow and yellow to finish little bear’s jumpsuit and paws and some blue color.
